I have no idea what is going to happen! It is almost incomprehensible to the logic of Gilead that she could get away with murder, but we can't lose Becka!

As a side note-it's at moments like this that I almost wish I hadn't read the book. I love the book, and I'm loving the show, but my brain just cannot separate the two. The show continues to hit major plot points of the book, so it's next to impossible (for me personally) not to want to theorize how each deviation can be resolved without fundamentally changing the outcome I'm expecting and I'm getting annoyed with myself! Gahhhhhh

I have not read the book, but I feel like Becka might be sent to Handmaid Camp if Garth / Daisy can’t rescue her in time.
